If that's the best we can do...

> (defface hi-redgold
>   '((((min-colors 88) (type x w32 ns)) (:background "gold"))
>     (((min-colors 88)) (:background "orange"))
>     (((min-colors 16)) (:background "red"))
>     (t (:background "red")))

How about this instead:

(defface hi-redgold
  '((((min-colors 8)) (:background "red"))
    (t (:background "gold")))
  "Face for hi-lock mode."
  :group 'hi-lock-faces)

I see no reason to use "red" on 16-color terminals, nor "orange" on
color TTYs with at least 88 colors.  The translation of "gold" should
be good enough in those cases.  Isn't it?
